THE ATLANTA COnsrSTITUTIOtST, Atlanta, Ca.
SEARCH FOR BASS FRAZER
I!i> Family Firmly Believe the Young
Man Was Kidnaped.
Atlanta, Jan. il.—The mystery sur-
rouuding the disappearance of Bass
Frazv'i’ thickens. There is absolutely no
clue to the young man’s whereabouts,
and while the general public discredits
the kidnaping theory tne family of the
young man are firmly convinced that
he was forcibly abducted.
C. H. Frazer, a brother of the missing
man, who is here trying to get some
clue to work upon, states positively that
he believes his brother was kidnaped.
He is very indignant at the statement
to the contrary. He can see no motive
for his brother’s action should it develop
that he went away of his own volition.
Professor H. A. Thompson of the
Tech .-■.•bool, in a signed statement, says
he does not believe Bass Frazer was
kidnaped. In his opinion he left school
iu order to avoid a possible trial by the
Acuity for unfair methods in the work
in the blacksmith shop.
Processor Thompson is an instructor
in that department. He says Frazer
vra- a very quiet feliow- and gave him
no trouble. He states, however, that
nie young man took little interest iu his
work. To these statements the brother
of the young man takes exception anil
makes denial.
I he police are working on the. theory
that tn -re is a woman in the case, aud
that young Frazer was lured away.
Thus far they have been unable to de
velop any facts that would tend to sub
itantiate such a theory.

COLLISION on southern
Passenger and Freight Trains Crash
Together—Engineer In j a red.

last night a collision occurred on the
Southern railroad near Ellerslie, a sta
tion 15 miles this side of Columbus.

afternoon, Conductor Ward, Engineer
Keene, with engine 1003, collided with

of Ellerslie on its regular schedule, En
gineer Keene expecting to pass 442 on a
siding a short distance south of there,
but discovered a freight rushing upon
him shortly after he left Ellerslie. Both
engineers reversed the throttle and ap
plied the air with all possible speed, but

Commissioner Hull Suddenly Step- I
Down and Out.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 15.—The latest
sensation in the police commission was
the resignation last night of Asbury
Hull, both as chairman and member of
the commission. He states in his letter
of resignation:
“My views differ so widely from those
entertained by other members of the i
board, aud as I am not in sympathy '
with the sweeping charges that have
just been made, I do not feel that I
would be of further service on the
board, and that my presence would be
an embarrassment to both yourselves
and me.”

ders were received yesterday removing
Senor Isidor Grinon, mayor of San
